Art of Conversation and Impromptu Speech: A Short Manual of Practice
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the art of conversation, exploring its importance as a lost art form and a vital tool for intellectual development. The author traces the origins of our present-day inability to converse effectively back to the shift from oral to written modes of communication and learning, lamenting the loss of the vibrant conversational culture that thrived in ancient Athens. He argues that engaging in conversation is not merely a social activity but a discipline that can sharpen the mind, elevate thought, and refine expression. Through a series of exercises designed to improve vocabulary, explore the nuances of language, and cultivate wit, the author offers a practical approach to reclaiming the lost art of conversation. Drawing on the insights of philosophers and literary giants like Lord Bacon, Emerson, and De Quincey, the author highlights the power of conversation to not only articulate ideas but also to shape and refine them, creating new pathways to understanding and knowledge. Ultimately, this book presents a compelling case for the reintroduction of conversation as a fundamental element of education, emphasizing its potential to cultivate a more intellectually agile and socially adept citizenry.
